July License Plate Report
Louisiana and Delaware have been duly purpled. I saw at least two different Louisianas and three different Delawares. With the exception of you-know-who, the rest of the AWOLs seem at least possible — but I can’t help remembering that I … Continue reading
June License Plate Report
Not much action early in the month, but things picked up in the last 10 days or so. Arizona and Arkansas showed up the same day. A-A-A-A . . . Could Alabama and Alaska be far behind? Well, yeah, they … Continue reading
May License Plate Report
Sing hey for May! Only three new sightings, but two of them were of plates I never saw in all of 2012: South Dakota! New Mexico! And Georgia, which isn’t quite so special but whose absence was leaving a rather … Continue reading
April License Plate Report
Only two new sightings: Iowa and Kentucky. The YTD total is 32. How is this license plate map different from all previous license plate maps? Sure, it looks like all its predecessors, but it was scanned on my new scanner. … Continue reading

Year-End License Plate Report
Where have I been? you ask. Or maybe you don’t ask. Maybe you’ve been comparably occupied, and as little inclined to reading as I’ve been to writing. To get business out of the way: This is how the map looked … Continue reading
November License Plate Report (Etc.)
Nothing to report. Nothing nothing nothing. Rather than piss, moan, whine, and make excuses, I’m gonna blog about bread. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If life doesn’t give you lemons, make something else. Besides — license plates, right? … Continue reading
October License Plate Report
Would you believe, a third zippo month in a row? I think this is a record. Around mid-month I came home to a call on my answering machine: a friend had spotted New Mexico in Edgartown! She gave the location, … Continue reading
